finally arrive. The red and
black tulips planted by our
alumni and science students
last fall are starting to bud in
the front gardens and we are
anxious to see them in full
bloom. You may have noticed
a fresh coat of paint on many
walls and doors and new car-
pet in our auditorium. We are
hoping the school will look its
best for the much anticipated
Malvern 110th Anniversary
Reunion being held here on
May 11th and 12th. Our hard
working Malvern Red and
Black Society Alumni have
worked diligently for many
months preparing for this
important event. These cele-
brations will feature special
opening ceremonies, decades
rooms, archival and Malvern
Student Art Displays, the Mal-
vern Alumni Band, the Mal-
vern Dance Band, local histo-
ry tours led by Beach Histori-
an Gene Domagala and a
variety of pub events. You can

Malvern participated in a
number of important educa-
tional initiatives during the last
few months. Our students had
the opportunity to participate in
several wonderful exchanges
and trips to different countries
and experience new languages,
cultures and histories. In
March Vice Principal Santos
and Mr. Jones accompanied 20
of our students to Japan for
two weeks as part of the Kizu-
na Bonds of Friendship Japan/
Canada exchange and their
experiences there were a once
in a lifetime opportunity for all
who participated. We certainly
enjoyed hosting our Japanese
friends at Malvern and partici-
pating in the March 21st school
wide assemblies in their hon-
our. Ms Geddes and Ms
Landert-Taylor also accompa-
nied a group of 13 students to
Spain for 11 days where they
were able to put their Spanish
language skills to excellent use.
Mr. Beaudry accompanied an
enthusiastic group of senior
students who were able to ex-
perience real life history les-
sons in beautiful Greece and
Italy during their 12 day trip
also during March. Finally, Mr.
Falla and Ms Norris accompa-
nied 34 Malvern Music Stu-
dents to a Florida/Bahamas
music competition where they
received much acclaim from
the audiences and judges
there.
I am pleased to report that
Malvern’s Squash Team ac-
companied by Mr. Lachick was
once again able to repeat their
performance from last year and
bring home the Jim Mason
Trophy. Go Malvern go! Con-
gratulations to Mr. Izzo for his
fine work in organizing another
very successful Malvern Pink
Day as well some fine thought
provoking Equity workshops
that had many of our students
re-evaluate their attitudes to-
wards homophobia, bullying
and intolerance. It was wonder-
ful to see so many of our staff
and students dressed in Pink
on April 10th as well as listening
to former Malvern Student
Council president Chris Studer
address our students.
Our Music Council students
under the direction of Ms Nor-
ris hosted this year’s Malvern
Idol competition on April 19th.
Congratulations to this year’s
winner Olivia Terenzio. I was
also very proud to attend this
year’s Sounds of Toronto at
Massey Hall where our band
and choir members were fea-
tured under the direction of Mr.
Falla and Ms Norris. Congratu-
lations go out as well to our
talented Grade 12 Visual Arts
students working with Mr. Mat-
thews and Ms MacIntyre who
have created beautiful and
original wall murals and works
of art which will be displayed at
various locations around the
school including the cafeteria.
Finally, our performing arts and
drama students under the di-
rection of Mr. Lehrer have been
hard at work on various pro-
jects. Our Grade 11 Drama
students will present their won-
derful and imaginative Chil-
dren’s Theatre performances
for our feeder school guests on
May 17th. We also look forward
to the inaugural Cabaret show-
case planned for this Friday
evening as well as the much
anticipated Malvern renditions
of The Crucible planned for
May 31st and June 1st.
